Niso Shaham Fired Before He Could Retire

The Police Commissioner today (Monday) fired former Jerusalem District Police Chief Niso Shaham, who is under suspicion for corruption and sexual harrassment, in the expectations that this would serve as a clear message to the entire force.

Shaham announced his intention to retire from the police force last week, just days after the Internal Affairs Department charged him with fraud, breach of public trust, indecent assault and sexual harrassment.
